Well, suddenly my cup runeth over with boots...
I love the Indie Ridge pair. Wore them to my friend's house yesterday evening to help him set up for this Saturday's party, and his wife made an unsolicited comment about how nice they look.
The boss had heard me gripe about not finding comfy boots, and he sent me a link to the Amazon cheapies he likes. He sent the note with a "Now just because they're from Amazon, don't knock them. I've worn these for a year now and they've held up great and are super comfortable". His round-trip daily commute is quite long, on any of the bikes in his collection, so I took his word for it. And he said "go ahead and grab a pair on the company card". Don't have to ask me twice.
These came with red laces, but I had to swap them out for the spare black ones in the box. Mrs. G was particularly sad about my decision, thinking the red laces gave them a more jovial, yet edgy look. No shame in boss' game, he rocks the red laces.
I'll give 'em a run, and if they don't kill my feet, these can be my work riders, and the Indies will be for my personal bikes.
Then, I got a text from the shoe repair guy who's had my Tourmaster boot for a zipper repair so long that I almost forgot about them. "Sorry it's been taking so long, but I'll have it fixed in a few days".
So I'll get those back, which keep my feet warm in cold weather. I'm triple-covered at this point!

You know what? I actually would like a pickle.
